hello,
so was having issues with rack leaking fluid before few tens of thousand kilometers, then power steering pump died replaced it with used one.
this winter on cold weather -20 and more got it situation that a2 while driving straight car turns left with the force that it requires muscles to keep it going straight then it stuck on turn to any side and you have to restart engine to be able to turn
somehow returned to safe place to check what the heck is going on, and realized that car only turns to right, it does not turns to left
you can turn steering wheel to right it stops on full steer and it's possible to return straight with 4-5 full turns with big force with crack sounds, and there is no finish in turning left did like 10 turns of steering wheel and stopped not to brake wires under wheel.
just to know that car is made on 2000 and has almost 400 000 kilometers on clock
got the car in garage in jacks and taken off steering rack for inspection and what i found that it's too loose
did some pictures
ordered new steering rack that fits skoda vw seat etc. it does not looks exactly same as it has different pipes of fluid but it will fit on a2
